I do not believe threatening to kill people if you do not get your way politically is an important part of any democracy.

Just something I found while trying to locate a complete transcript of the Glenn Beck wants to kill Michael Moore episode from 2005. I'll keep looking.

I watched that Oscar show and when Eastwood first said he'd kill Moore if Moore showed up at his door I kind of chuckled. He said it, he had a small smirk on his face, I thought he was playing around. Then, if I remember correctly Moore shouted something from the audience and Eastwood stated something to the effect of "I'm not kidding." I was a little taken aback and thought is he really saying he'd kill the guy? Seemed very surreal to me. If Clint seriously believes in violent threats I do not respect him much though the "Outlaw Jose Wales" will always be one of my favorite westerns.
Also the Beck transcript you're looking for is from 2007. I'll go look for it again a little later if I get a chance. But is there some reason to put less weight on it if it was said 2, 4, 6 or even 8 years ago?
